This problem requires solving the first-order differential equation:

$y' = \frac{x^2 - y^2}{xy}, \quad y(1) = 2.$

Step 1: Rewrite the equation in separable form

Rewriting the equation:

$y' = \frac{x^2 - y^2}{xy} = \frac{x}{y} - \frac{y}{x}.$

This becomes:

$y' = \frac{x}{y} - \frac{y}{x}.$

Let’s separate the variables.

Step 2: Rearrange to separate variables

Multiply through by $y \cdot x$ to simplify the terms:

$x y \, y' = x^2 - y^2.$

Now divide both sides by $x^2 - y^2$:

$\frac{y \, dy}{y^2 - x^2} = \frac{dx}{x}.$

This is now separable.

Step 3: Solve the integrals

We will integrate both sides.

1. Left-hand side:

$\int \frac{y \, dy}{y^2 - x^2}.$

Notice that this is a bit more complex and may require substitution. Let's solve step by step!
